Three new recruits from Manchester United might make their debuts on Sunday against Arsenal.
Rasmus Hojlund, a forward purchased for £72 million by Erik ten Hag earlier this month, has only just been given the all-clear to play after suffering a back ailment.

Sergio Reguilon could also make his Man Utd debut this weekend
And he might get his first Red Devils start this weekend at the Emirates.
Ten Hag responded, “Yes (Hojlund will be offered),” when asked about the substance. He had a successful training week, and tomorrow is the last workout.
He is doing good and responding well, so he will be available for the game on Sunday.

How Man Utd could line up with three new signings against Arsenal
But it’s possible that more Man Utd rookies will line up against Mikel Arteta’s team in addition to the Danish attacker.
Spurs’ season-long loan of Sergio Reguilon to Old Trafford has been approved.
Additionally, he might start at left-back in 48 hours given that both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia are dealing with fitness difficulties.
In his pre-game press conference on Friday, Ten Hag announced the agreement, saying: “He is a very experienced player. He has a very strong background because he has played for prestigious clubs and has participated in several La Liga and Premier League matches.
We are pleased because he can play really aggressive football.
“We had a problem with Luke Shaw injured and Tyrell Malacia injured so we have very well covered that in an emergency situation.”
However, it’s possible that midfield is where most Man Utd supporters would like to see a new face.
Ten Hag is nearing a deal to acquire Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina and Morocco, who made waves during the 2017 World Cup.
The Red Devils’ supporters will be praying for a transfer to cross the finish line so they can bolster the park’s midfield.
If he does join the team, he might start Sunday’s game alongside Casemiro in the base of the midfield.
A back five made up of goalkeeper Andre Onana, Reguilon, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka might play in front of them.
Mason Mount would probably move to the bench after having a rough start at United.
Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, and Antony would be the trio of forwards behind Hojlund, who will be looking to make an immediate impact in the Premier League.
